PRIVACY & POLICY

Last Updated: March 2026

Privacy & Policy:At Prayer Time Manchester, we take your privacy seriously. This page explains what information we collect when you visit prayertimemanchester.co.uk, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own data. We have written this policy in plain, simple language because we believe everyone deserves to understand exactly how their information is handled — no confusing legal jargon, no hidden surprises.

1. Who We Are

Prayer Time Manchester is an independent Islamic resource website based in Manchester, United Kingdom. Our sole purpose is to provide accurate daily prayer times, mosque information, and Islamic guidance to the Muslim community in Manchester and surrounding areas including Bolton, Trafford Park, Cheetham Hill, and Urmston.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can reach us through our Contact Us page at prayertimemanchester.co.uk/contact-us.

2. What Information We Collect

We want to be upfront with you — we do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any personal details unless you choose to contact us directly.

However, like most websites, some basic technical information is collected automatically when you visit our site.

Automatically Collected Information

When you browse our website, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record the following:

  • Your IP address
  • The type of browser and device you are using
  • Which pages you visited and for how long
  • The country or general region you are browsing from

This information is collected in an anonymised or aggregated form and is used purely to understand how our website is being used so we can improve it for our visitors.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you reach out to us through our contact form or via email, we will receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We only use this information to respond to your query and will never share it with anyone else.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

  • To keep our website running smoothly and fix any technical issues that arise
  • To understand which pages and prayer time information our visitors find most useful
  • To respond to messages or enquiries sent through our contact page
  • To improve the overall experience for the Muslim community visiting our site

We do not use your information for marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with third parties for their own commercial purposes.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help the site function properly and to gather anonymous visitor statistics. The cookies we use fall into two categories:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to work. Without these, certain features of the site would not function correctly.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data collected is anonymised and we cannot identify you personally from it. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of our website work.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Our website may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve relevant ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com.

We do not have control over which specific ads are shown, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any advertiser whose ads appear on our site.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, including mosque websites and other Islamic resources. Once you click a link and leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit, as we have no control over their content or practices.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Because we are based in the United Kingdom, this website operates under UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to request access to any personal data we hold about you
  • The right to ask us to correct any inaccurate information
  • The right to request that we delete your personal data
  • The right to object to how we process your information
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled

The ICO can be reached at ico.org.uk. To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us through our website’s Contact Us page and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Data Retention

If you contact us, we retain your message and contact details only for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry. We do not keep personal data longer than needed, and we do not archive correspondence unless there is a specific reason to do so.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website is designed for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or in UK data protection law. When we do, we will update the ‘Last Updated’ date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically so you are always aware of how we handle your information.

11. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy, we are happy to hear from you. Please visit our Contact Us page at prayertimemanchester.co.uk/contact-us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
